Biden published the announcement on the social platform “X”.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve you as president,” the 81-year-old Democrat said in the letter.

The president indicated that he would “talk to the nation more about his decision later this week.”

Among the possible candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris is the favorite.
Since Biden’s weak performance in the televised debate with Republican rival Donald Trump on June 27, the calls for the president to withdraw from the election battle began to sound more and more insistently in the ranks of the Democrats.
